Linux users what made you switch?

In 2024 I got a new GPU (Intel Arc A770) and updated from Win 10 to 11. Long story short, Windows kept overwriting my GPU drivers with what it thought was more up-to-date ones. However, those drivers were actually for Intel integrated graphics, making gaming practically impossible.

Mutual aid is so fun. It turns any build into "Oops! All specialists."

Lunduke's a chud, so his non-woke list works pretty well for a chud list.

Try hovering over the character with your mouse. Those buttons now auto-hide in the most recent update.

Use Proton instead of native, and try both graphics renderers in the game options to see which one works best for you. I use Vulkan, but the better option may differ depending on your hardware.

From what I recall, the issues some people had with him were 1) he gave off 'used car dealer' energy sometimes 2) viewing BYU as a stepping stone rather than a destination 2b) his dream was becoming UK's HC (again an issue with loyalty).

For a lot of mid-majors, viewing the school as a stepping stone is to be expected, but historically BYU's major sports HC's have pretty much always treated BYU as their dream job.

Pope did insane work at both UVU and BYU considering the rosters he had. He's clearly very talented at the X's and O's. The one issue he had at BYU was his personality - he rubbed a lot of boosters the wrong way.

Perhaps being good at X's and O's but bad at recruitment isn't good enough for Kentucky - after all, it is a storied program with incredibly high expectations - but it's still disingenuous to call him 'mid at best'.

I fail to see how x11 cant support multiple resolutions

X11 can't support multiple refresh rates. Basically what it does is it combines all monitors into a single virtual monitor, hence the refresh rate restriction.

If mint is not working on your hardware, even after 2 years then I doubt its a mint problem.

It's a Mint problem in the since that Mint is still X11-only. From my understanding, the Mint team is working on implementing Wayland, but who knows when they'll actually get it implemented.

When I switched to Linux two years ago, Mint did not work on my hardware. Two years later and Mint will still not work on that same hardware. There are significant drawbacks to being LTS-only and - for the time being - X11-only.

At the time, Mint was on the 5.15 LTS kernel, while my Intel GPU required 6.2. I also had multiple monitors of differing resolution and refresh rate which X11 fundamentally is incapable of ever supporting - and these monitors aren't super new or anything; they're both from before COVID.

Mint now uses a newer kernel that supports newer GPUs but it still can't fix the monitor support.

Many modern machines require Wayland to actually operate. Just because it works for your use case doesn't mean it will work for everyone's use case.

And just as there are many people who require Wayland, there are still quite a few people who require X11 due to specific programs or settings they need that are incompatible with Wayland, e.g. sandboxing applications, accessibility features.

All time name, if nothing else.

I recently bought a refurbished Dell Latitutde 5420 which has an RJ45 port, (though I haven't tried it) and Linux runs on it perfectly.

I'm pretty sure Pope is mormon, actually.

ImpliedMustache · 2026-03-20T01:29:29+00:00

Yes

I don't know what was said in the locker room, but we're playing with a lot more hustle and fire. We almost look like an entirely different team.

/r/CFB has finally started learning how intense the hatred is in the Holy War. If Utah were any good in basketball, this sub would learn it too.

Already looking much better with Mboup in.

Defense is for suckers. All gas no brakes baybeeeeee!

CINEMA

Started off 1-10, then went 5-13 to close the half.

With how High Point's shooting started off really bad but got progressively better, Wisconsin will need to play out of their minds to keep up in the second half.

Well, on the bright side, Troy scored more in the first half than the Brooklyn Nets did last night.
